[0002] When the vertical machining center is performing milling, boring, drilling and other processes, the chips cut off will be discharged into the chip groove. As the cutting process continues, the chips in the chip groove will gradually fill up the chip groove, requiring staff to manually clean it with a brush and a hair dryer.
[0003] However, manual cleaning is very inconvenient for staff, and for safety reasons, the machining center needs to stop when cleaning debris, which reduces production efficiency.

[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model can be implemented through the following embodiments: a vertical machining center with automatic chip removal, including a machining center body 1, a protective door 11 is arranged on the machining center body 1, a machining table 12 is arranged in the machining center body 1, a tool seat 2 is arranged above the machining table 12, a coolant nozzle 21 is arranged on the tool seat 2, a groove 121 is arranged on the machining table 12, slopes 3 are connected at both ends of the groove 121, a chip removal groove 4 is installed at the lower end of the slope 3, an auger structure 41 is arranged in the chip removal groove 4, a motor 42 is installed at one end of the auger structure 41, a drainage hole 43 is opened at the bottom of the chip removal groove 4, and a drainage groove 5 is arranged under the drainage hole 43.
[0026] The utility model provides a groove 121 and a slope 3 on the processing table 12, so that when the coolant flushes the workpiece to be processed, the debris flows into the chip groove 4 with the coolant, and the chip groove 4 is used to separate the chips from the coolant, so that the coolant flows into the liquid discharge groove 5, and the chip groove 4 is provided with an auger structure 41, and the auger structure 41 is used to discharge the chips out of the chip groove 4.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the drain groove 5 is inclined. The inclined bottom of the drain groove 5 facilitates the coolant to flow to the outlet under the influence of gravity, and no other mechanism is required to discharge the coolant.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a slide 13 and a slide 2 14 are installed on the main body 1 of the machining center, a trash can 6 is installed on the slide 13, and a waste liquid cylinder 7 is installed on the slide 2 14. The slide 13 and the slide 2 14 are connected to the main body 1 of the machining center in a sliding manner, so that after the trash can 6 and the waste liquid cylinder 7 are filled, it is convenient to clean and recycle the contents in the trash can 6 and the waste liquid cylinder 7, and it is convenient to reuse the trash can 6 and the waste liquid cylinder 7.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, guard plates 31 are provided on both sides of the slope 3. The guard plates 31 are provided to prevent the coolant from flowing out of the slope 3 when flowing through the slope 3, which makes it difficult to recover the coolant and causes waste.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the motor 42 is installed on a side close to the protective door 11, and the chip discharge port 44 of the chip discharge groove 4 is opened at the motor 42 end of the chip discharge groove 4. The motor 42 is installed at a position close to the protective door 11 for easy maintenance, and the chip discharge port 44 is opened at the end of the motor 42 for easy discharge of chips into the trash can 6.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the trash can 6 is located below the chip discharge port 44. The trash can 6 is located below the chip discharge port 44, which is convenient for the chips to be discharged into the trash can 6 when being driven and transported by the dragon structure, while reducing the possibility of chips being left behind.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of through holes 61 are provided at the bottom of the trash can 6, and a liquid receiving basin 8 is installed under the trash can 6 on the slide 13.

The opening of the through holes 61 and the setting of the liquid receiving basin 8 facilitate the separation of the chips and the coolant, and the recovery of the coolant and the chips.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the waste liquid cylinder 7 is partially buried in the main body, and a filter screen 71 is installed on the waste liquid cylinder 7. The filter screen 71 is set to filter out the chip powder remaining in the coolant and perform preliminary treatment on the coolant.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, a baffle 51 is provided at the outlet of the drain tank 5. The baffle 51 is provided to guide the coolant so that the coolant flows into the waste liquid tank 7 to prevent the coolant from splashing and causing the coolant loss.
[0035] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: after the machining center body 1 starts to process parts, the coolant nozzle 21 sprays coolant, and the coolant discharges the cut chips from the groove 121, and allows the chips to enter the slope 3, and finally flow into the chip discharge groove 4, and the chips remain in the chip discharge groove 4. The coolant enters the discharge groove 5 through the discharge hole 43, and is discharged into the waste liquid cylinder 7 along the discharge groove 5. The filter screen 71 installed on the waste liquid cylinder 7 is used to filter the chip powder in the coolant; after the chips accumulate to a certain amount in the chip discharge groove 4, the motor 42 is started, and the motor 42 drives the auger mechanism to discharge the chips from the chip discharge port 44, and the chips enter the trash can 6 from the chip discharge port 44.
[0036] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
